NOTES:

1. Prior to 2017, John Budd was believed by tradition to have been the builder of the "Old House" which was said to have been constructed in 1649 in Southold and moved to Cutchogue in 1661 after its ownership was transferred to Benjamin Horton. However, two dendrochronology studies have shown that the house was built in 1699, long after the death of John Budd. Furthermore, there is no surviving contemporaneous documentation to support that the house was built before 1699.

2. A version of the same same "Old House" legend falsely attributed to John Budd a daughter named "Anna Budd" who received the house as a wedding gift. There is no evidence that this John Budd had a daughter named Anna.

3. Although John Budd was included on the conjectural passenger list of the Hector, there is no specific evidence to support this conclusion and a full list of passengers on the vessel does not exist. John Budd did travel to New England from England between 1636 and 1639 on board an unknown vessel. Please refer to "Deconstructing the Hector 'Passenger List'" in American Ancestors, volume 21, number 4 (2021), pages 36–39.
